C4280 printer all-in-one: C4280 does not print

Hi all

I got this C4280 at a yard sale.  They said it worked, but he has not been connected over the years.  Without installing it, I tried to copy and it goes through the motions, sounds good, but nothing appears on the page.  I tried wiping and cook with the vapor cartridges.  It feels like the black, it is empty but there is no ink to color one.  Some came out when I steamed it.

I installed the software and tried to clean without success.  I actually had a very light something out of the black cartridge but nothing about the color of one at all.  Ink levels show black as '? (probably empty) and color as most half full.  I would like to get something at least, no color?

I have a few cartridges no HP on order, appear in the coming days. Can someone suggest that I try to copy, or give me some indication that this might actually work when installing the cartridges?

Thank you!

Hi @26kick.

Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem getting to your printer. I would like to help.

Lack of use could have damaged printheads. This could be the cause of the problem. Fortunately, the print head is integrated in the ink cartridges. Replacement of ink should solve the problem.

You can also try to go through this document. Series of HP Photosmart C4200 all-in-one - output printed lines or scratches

I would like to know if these measures worked for you. If they did, it's great! Give us some reinforcements by pressing buttons of solution and laurels, that we will help and others see that we have the answers!

    I have improved my all-in-one software on my HP laptop, but when he asked how to set up the connection, there is no option for a wireless connection. There were 2 options: usb cable and ethernet cable. I chose the ethernet cable, but it does not work. Prior to this level and even now, I can print to the wireless laptop, but I can't scan.

  • 7300 series all-in-one software does not load in windows 8.1

    I have a 7310xi all in one. I recently installed a new desktop running windows 8.1. the connection is wireless. I can get the printer to print properly but cannot load the software. I need the software to be able to scan etc. I downloaded several times, uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the same result (I purge the temp file after each attempt). Everything goes very well with the download until the actual installation screen comes up. Once I hit the installation I get the message "the system cannot find the file specified." I tried hanging the printer with a USB port and still get the same results. I tried using the Dominican Republic printing HP, the installation wizard and continue to get the same thing. If I could determine precisely what file is not found maybe I could find it. I made sure all updates are running on the computer and tried something that sounded even close, I can fing on HP website. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, Mike

    Hi Mike1949.

    Sorry for the delay. You'll need get corrupted files fixed before you can install because they are the source of installation problems. To do this, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer (IE. HP, Dell) to get help with the files.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thank you

  • HP OfficeJet 8500 Wireless all-in-One ADF does not work

    The ADF on my all-in-One of 8500 Wireless printer has stopped working.  CB023A product number.  I went through all the troubleshooting steps and I reset the printer and the ADF will not feed.  It was working fine earlier, but that are becoming more and more spiratic and now don't feed pages in all.  All CAD looks like it is in good condition.

    There is a document with measures helping address ADF no power problem. This document can be found here.

    Also, be sure to perform a hard reset, although you mentioned try a reset, if you have not already:
    * Unplug the printer while the unit is running
    Disconnect the other end of the power cord from the wall jack directly
    * Wait 30 seconds
    * Plug the rear unit to

    For example, if the problem persists, I would then perform a partial reset:
    * Partial reset for this printer is the same as the top of the page group of printers in the document located here.

    Do you mean the turning rollers as the printer attempts to feed paper through the ADF?

  • Office Jet 8610 all-in-one: fax does not install

    Can someone help me please?   I have printer uninstalled somehow the 'fax' when I was on the move. I set the printer to the top, even re downloaded the driver for Mac Os X. I "added" a new printer, but it still does not show the 'fax' option when I hit 'print' as before. And the 'fax' does not appear in my list of printers.  I could use some help.  Thank you in advance. Gigi

    Hello @GGSA!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I would be happy to provide you with some suggestions that can help solve the problem!  There may be a slight problem with the software.  I know that you have reinstalled the drivers, but I suggest you uninstall the HP software. Once the software uninstalled I recommended to perform a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac. A repair disk permissions is a utility built into the operating system Mac designed to detect and resolve problems or errors. After that permission to repair disc is finished, reboot your Mac computer and re-install the software.

    To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

    To perform a repair authorization disk click here: repair disk permissions

    To download the HP software, click here: Officejet 8610 software and driver

    After the installation I recommend that you check the software updates on the Mac. To search for software updates, click the icon "Apple" to the left and click on the "app store". In the app store, you can click on the "updates" at the top of the window. Updates install and Hp or a printer. After the update, you must restart the computer.

    If please, after back and let me know if this worked for you!

    Thanks for your time to help resolve this issue.

    Is that what this printer connected via a power protector? If so, try plugging directly into the wall electrical outlet.

I CAN'T USE IT AT ALL AND I HAVE BLACK AND FULL COLOR CARTRIDGES. Thank you.

    Hello Melanieag,

    Have you tried following the instructions here?

    If none of these work, it is likely that you have a hardware failure in your printer, and there is no "serviceable" parts in the printer to solve the problem like this.

  • OfficeJet J4680 all-in-one: J4680 does not work after installing windows 10

    I have recently installed Windows 10 on my Dell laptop.  Yesterday, I was able to print wireless at my J4680 JO.  Today, I tried to analyze, and he is identified as not online.  Can't print now.   I turned off laptop, router and printer and restarted.  I added the latest driver.  Still no luck (in print or scan - still says offline).  Help, please.

    Thank you

    Hi @mlanders55,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you have problems of analysis, since the upgrade to Windows 10. I will do my best to help you with this problem. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    If you have not completely uninstall and reinstall the printer software already, I'd say to start it there first. Here is the link to the latest drivers: OJ_AIO_J4600_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 5.exe

    You can download and run the print and Scan doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor?

    I have provided a paper for not being able to scan using Windows 10. If you're still having problems, try one of the applications in step 6 of the document, unless can not analyze after the upgrade, HP printers - printer after Windows upgrade problems 10

    Please let me know the result and if there is anything else I can help you. Thank you.

  • Photosmart C7280 all-in-One Wireless does not

    My wireless printing worked great with my Photosmart C7280 at least a year or more and now recently the wireless side no longer works. My Apple (iPad and Macbook) devices has ceased to recognize my printer. Even when I tried to add via IP address, it should not.

    My printer works fine when hard cable through my PC and Macbook via USB.

    I tried to reset the settings of my network to restore default network printer and adding in my SSID and password. It shows that it is connected. But when I run a Test Page wireless network of in the settings of the printer, it shows everything going on and the signal strength is excellent. However, the final diagnosis in the summary says 'No' to "other networks detected matching your network name (SSID)" so I wonder if my printer actually properly connect my network? Since I have other wireless devices connected to the same SSID.

    I turned other devices and the printer off, and then to restart. I turned and turn on the radio wireless settings of the printer.

    Another thing I want to mention is that before I deleted the printers in my Apple devices, they still show my Photosmart 7200 series, but said they were inactive.

    Also when I was able to enter my Verizon FIOS Broadband Router management software via my browser, it showed all my wireless devices, but it also showed my Photosmart as being inactive wireless, where other devices that were on at the time were connected.

    I wonder if it may have been a recent update from Apple that may have caused this problem? However the Verizon Fios also showed the printer as being inactive, so I think not?

    I have worked on this issue for the days and spent a ton of time so far, any suggestions to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm about to intermediate level to understand the technical aspects. So please clarify responses to resolution steps very simply in your response.

    Honestly, the routers ISP-issued are very problematic.  Restart the Westell pulling on her momentarily just power cable before attempting to connect the printer.
